Nitto Vs Spool Rods

[R31Nismoid]

Nitto rods just for a GT3076?

Sorry to but that's just ridiculous wasting of money when many people are making 650hp on GTR rods day in, day out.

Given you and your "engine builder" already reckon you'll make more than 400hp, that would mean you've already already chosen a turbo?

This ^

Stock rods would have been enough for 400hp and spool rods Def would have been fine

Getting nitto rods just to be on the safe side is rediculous at that power level

[brenton21]

nitto rods aren't much dearer. $650 for nitto h beams from hi octane. $620 for spool h beams. Do the standard 26 rods need prepping at all?

Resizing if using arp bolts? How much would this cost to be done, plus the cost to buy the 26 rods? Could work out around the same in the end.

Thanks mate

Don't see what the big Whoha is about buying a set of nitto rods, do it right the first time isn't it? The guy above is right my nitto rods cost me $630 I'm not going on a budget build to have shit break or fail.... 400+hp is just a rough figure... I'm not in it to make a huge amount of power, if the power gets up there then that's a bonus, I don't want too much lag...

R31nismoid I asked a question on what turbo to get for what I want not for what rods I'm using, as been said 400+hp is just a figure was I will be aiming for the max hp I can get with my setup, I don't mind spending $630 on nitto rods if they are hell alot stronger then a set of used rb26 rods and in conjunksion with that I thank everyone for there input with running the rb26 yeah it would of been a "cheaper" option but you pay for what you get I guess

[mickr33couple]

The turbo that was going to go on it was a gt3540,

I just wanted to see what others input was on what turbo to run

[GTR260]

I've always been a big believer of u get what u pay for & do it right the first time

[Simon-S14]

Funnily enough I'm selling a near brand new turbo also. 56t 3076r with ceramic coated '63 rearhousing for 1300

GT3540 is 4500rpm on a well sorted motor.

GT3076 all day for your power goal. Awesome things they are!

[GTR260]

I have a 35r on my stock rb26 and it is on full boost by about 3700rpm starts building @ 3000rpm, I find it hard to believe that a rb25 is that much different.

[NYTSKY]

3700? With a 600hp turbo?

What spec is it and how much boost are you running?

[GTR260]

Gt3582r with .86 external gate rear. Running 14psi as the standard injectors are at 80%

Full boost by 3700rpm on a gt35r? That is the first I have ever heard of that on a rb26!

[Piggaz]

"Fullboost" ARGH. Is that 5 psi or 55psi??????

[r33_racer]

lol

[GTR260]

Lol, good call.

I consider full boost on my car as the limit which the turbo will not create boost past because of the spring tension I have chosen to put in my waste gate.

Go the GT3076 - 3540 is too big for the RB25 - pretty sure it won't low mount whereas 3076 will fit with 10mm spacer. GT3076 is good for 300kw on 98 330kw on E85 and much more responsive on a 25 than the 3540. In fact people have had realy good results with the 3076 on an RB30/25.

Woudn't have matter what you chose....I would like to see you break a spool rod with any of the turbos mentioned,

lol, theres vl turbos running very low 8's with them...

cheers

Yes the 3540 will low mount..lol, they fit on stageas ffs..and they are the worst of the Nissan bunch to try fit turbos on stock manis'..., plus none of stao hypergears would fit stock manifold otherwise seeing as G3 etc is same size and comp cover as 3540 ....

cheers

I've got a high mount manifold

[Simon-S14]

is it stainless? if so bin it. if its a street car your better off running low mount stock manifold with spacer and ex gate and 3076
